= non-chembox sections = Barium metaplumbate, BaPbO3, is a ternary oxide of barium and lead. It has a orthorhombic perovskite structure and is in the space group Imma.

Synthesis
Barium metaplumbate can be synthesized by the BaCO3 and PbO under oxygen atmosphere.

Properties
Barium metaplumbate is semimetallic, unlike the related compound barium stannate, due to partial overlap between the O 2p valence band and the Pb 6s conduction band.

Superconductivity
Superconductivity in the BaPb1-xBixO3 system was discovered in 1975 with a maximum Tc of 13 K.
